A feature (virtual desktops) which MS failed to provide natively until 
W10's release in July 2015 (easily about 20+ years after multiple X 
window managers provided the feature), and even then, in typical 
Microsoft fashion, they completely failed to understand the usefulness 
and built a half-assed amateur implementation.

Unfortunately, yes, the docs. are not so great regarding usecases.  
From the fvwm2 man page it is described as:

   Fvwm provides both a large virtual desktop and multiple disjoint 
   desktops which can be used separately or together.  The virtual 
   desktop allows you to pretend that your video screen is really quite 
   large, and you can scroll around within the desktop.  The multiple 
   disjoint desktops allow you to pretend that you really have several 
   screens to work at, but each screen is completely unrelated to the 
   others.

And a bit further on:

THE VIRTUAL DESKTOP
   Fvwm provides multiple virtual desktops for users who wish to use them.
   The screen is a viewport onto a desktop which may be larger than the
   screen.  Several distinct desktops can be accessed (concept: one
   desktop for each project, or one desktop for each application, when
   view applications are distinct).  Since each desktop can be larger than
   the physical screen, divided into m by n pages which are each the size
   of the physical screen, windows which are larger than the screen or
   large groups of related windows can easily be viewed.

   The (m by n) size (i.e. number of pages) of the virtual desktops can be
   changed any time, by using the DesktopSize command.  All virtual
   desktops must be (are) the same size.  The total number of distinct
   desktops does not need to be specified, but is limited to approximately
   4 billion total.  All windows on a range of desktops can be viewed in
   the FvwmPager, a miniature view of the desktops.  The pager is an
   accessory program, called a module, which is not essential for the
   window manager to operate.  Windows may also be listed using the
   WindowList command or the FvwmIconMan module.

   Fvwm keeps the windows on the desktop in a layered stacking order; a
   window in a lower layer never obscures a window in a higher layer.  The
   layer of a window can be changed by using the Layer command.  The
   concept of layers is a generalization of the StaysOnTop flag of older
   fvwm versions.  The StaysOnTop and StaysPut Style options are now
   implemented by putting the windows in suitable layers and the
   previously missing StaysOnBottom Style option has been added.

   Sticky windows are windows which transcend the virtual desktop by
   "Sticking to the screen's glass".  They always stay put on the screen.
   This is convenient for things like clocks and xbiffs, so you only need
   to run one such gadget and it always stays with you.  Icons can also be
   made to stick to the glass, if desired.

The 30 second elevator pitch is it provides some portion of the 
advantage of multiple monitors, whether or not one has multiple 
monitors connected.

In Fvwm2's version, it also adds the ability to pretend to have a much 
larger monitor surface than one really has (was more useful back in the 
day when photo viewers did not include "resize to screen" as an 
automatic default).

The use I put them to (I have my Fvwm2 config providing six copies of 
my two monitors, arranged in the pager as a 2 wide by three tall 
rectange.  And the individual copies of the pair of monitors loosely 
have different "work" occurring in each.  I do a fair amount of video 
editing, so one virtual desktop has all the windows/apps used for that task on 
it.  A second contains most of my Firefox windows (although Firefox 
windows get opened in other desktops as needed).  A third desktop has 
my Firefox windows and other terminals/apps for eBay and Craigslist 
sales.

So if I'm just 'web browsing' I'm usually on the virtual desk with most 
of the Firefox windows (with none of the video editing or 
eBay/Craigslist windows in the way).  But if I'm video editing, I 
switch to the video editing desktop, and all the 'general web browsing' 
windows disappear and all the video editing tools windows appear (each 
left where I placed it).

I.e., it reduces the total "clutter" by giving you seperate "monitor 
copies" upon which to park groups of related windows for a given task, 
and then quickly switch back and forth.

A virtual version of the hobbiest who does both woodworking and 
electronics, and has one workbench setup only for woodworking, and a 
second workbench setup only for electronics.  Except in that world that 
requires two physical workbenches and the space to set them up.  The 
equivalent in the virtual world would be like the hobbiest having a 
pair of buttons on the front of a single workbench, push one button and 
the workbench would transform into "wood working workbench" (somehow), push 
the other button and the workbench would transform into "electronics 
workbench".  But none of the woodworking tools are in the way while 
using the electronics bench, and none of the electronics tools are in 
the way when using the woodworking workbench.

I chalked it up to them being 30 years too late in finally copying yet 
another good idea from Xwindows window managers into their crappy OS 
product.  Much of what is there since Win95 has been nothing more than 
them ripping off ideas from Xwindows window managers, and then half 
assing their version by failing to understand the full usefulness in 
most instances.

	You guys forget Xerox PARC, which Apple acknowledged and the Amiga
which was way ahead of the rest but got left behind because of the people
who took it away from Jack Tramiel who then bought Atari. But I was an 
Amigan
as soon as the used prices fell into my financial range and it had 
preemptive
multi-tasking and its own graphics chips. The person who took it away from
Tramiel was a financier and sold off the stock and plants. Plants were 
contaminated
by the chemicals used in those days as is a good part of the Silly Valley.

	But even before the WWW was accessible to us the Amiga was like having an
extra room in my studio apartment. BBSes were handy and we had a lot in 
calling
range then.

The Amiga had multiple “desktops”, which were really just different screen 
modes because different apps wanted to run in different modes and this was 
the only way to let them coexist.

The “Copper” display chip was clever in being able to switch modes between 
one scan line and the next, but that limited the desktop stacking to only 
being doable vertically.

In other words, it worked the way it did because of hardware limitations, 
not because it was a good way to design a UI.

Certainly - but only as far as getting users to say, "Ooooh, shiny!"

Sounds a lot like when MS copies good UI ideas from other areas, then 
half-asses their version in winblows.  And then, of course, a giant 
horde of lacking-knowledge-users then espouse how great MS's half-assed 
effort was.

"Working Professionals" also apply a cost/benefit ratio process to.

They already "know" Photoshop inside out, so they know they can produce 
one contract job every day with PS with no problems.

Or, they could save the Adobe draconian costs, switch to GIMP, and 
spend a week (or two weeks) relearning how to be as productive in GIMP.  
But they just lost 14 contracts worth of pay in doing so.  And are 
behind by the same number.

So most never see a positive cost benefit ratio (at least short term) 
in the effort of making the switch.  Couple that with fears (reasonable 
or otherwise) of GIMP failing to read/write PhotoShop files correctly 
(resulting in trouble receiving/sending work to/from clients) and they 
decide it simply isn't worth it to them.

Plus, should GIMP omit some critical feature they do use in PhotoShop, 
then they are stuck with all that effort and having to continue with 
Photoshop in the end anyway.

   Look, it's FREEware .... don't bitch. GIMP
   is a 'labor of love'.

   On the whole, I think PhotoShop is a speck better
   and easier to navigate. However it's also $$$ and
   only runs on the most money-grubbing control-freak
   operating systems.

Chronologically, what's out of place here is the main-window having a
menu, or there even being a main window. This is the way GIMP used to
work.

But yeah, that now looks a bit more confusing to me, because of there
being the two approaches. Someday I should sit down and read through
documentation to see if I'm missing something about the new UI design.

Either way you slice it, it's weird and superfluous - even in multi-
window mode, the document windows have their own copies of the menu bar
right there, and it's only the toolbox that's shared. Which, fair
enough (you can't rely on a Mac-style shared menu bar when almost no
other desktop environments provide that - Amiga is the only one that
springs to mind,) but it still shows a fundamental misunderstanding of
what context menus are *for.*

I don’t think so. The menus at the top are readily visible and 
discoverable, for those who need cues to click on something. But some have 
right-click muscle memory, so the alternative mechanism caters for them.

This is all basic UI 101 stuff. Or should be, nowadays.

You are not the only one complaining that GIMP isn’t exactly a 100% drop-
in replacement for Photoshop, some kind of “I Can’t Believe It’s Not 
Photoshop” that you can simply switch in without users even noticing. It 
was never intended to be that way, and it never will. Its developers -- 
and more importantly, its community -- will always have different ideas 
about how to do things.

impact

It depends on how much pain Ubuntu will go through to support X11 if GNOME 
strips it completely. The last sentence in the article sums it up. We've 
tried the carrot and people are hanging onto a system drifting into 
irrelevancy. Break out the big stick.

Passive end users, no matter how numerous and no matter how loudly they 
complain, are not part of the Free Software community. The community lives 
and dies by those who actually make some active contribution to it.

And Passiave users can become active users.  People contribute to OS's
they use, so usefulness is always a factor.  Companies contribute
because its worth their while.  Having users makes it worthwhile.

...and then the "Free Software community" complains that end users
stick with the companies that at least (sometimes) (badly) *pretend* to

Gee, I wonder where you can find such complaints from the Free Software 
community. All the ones I’ve seen so far are from those too used to the 
way proprietary software works, and who can’t handle the range of choice 
that Free Software offers. And who can’t actually be bothered to be an 
active part of that community.

   GOOD idea ... but how to set it up, get
   developers to USE such a forum ???

   Note too that 'users' want EVERYTHING, but
   losing NOTHING. Most are NOT tekkies, do
   not realize when you can't get there from here.

   Systemd wasn't the "best" unity tactic, IMHO.

   I know some HATE it ... but I'm more agnostic.
   It does have its uses, does simplify a lot of
   things. Sometimes I use its features, sometimes
   I don't.

   In any case, systemd does NOT seem to be of such
   evil intent as the Winders registry.

   As for 'un-necessary' distros, normally they do not
   get broad traction and soon disappear. The current
   quad of more-or-less Deb/RH/Arch/Slack IS big enough
   for almost everybody AND allows developers to better
   concentrate their efforts. TOO much diversity is as
   bad/wasteful as too little.

I heartily disagree. It's MS-style embrace-extend-exterminate digging
its tendrils right down into core system functionality, assimilating an
ungodly number of random functions for no defensible reason and placing
both configuration and logging behind proprietary formats that require
specific utilities to access.

What a load of nonsense. All the code is open-source, all the formats are 
documented. The config files especially, are based on the classic 
declarative INI text file format -- much easier to create, maintain and 
understand than the old boilerplate-ridden sysvinit scripts.

And the code is fully modular. The only irreducible core is the init 
process (PID 1) and the journal. Everything else is optional.
